Access to respirationRate for Edge devices

System 5 provides access to respirationRate from ActivityMonitor.Info for devices supporting API level 3.3 or above.

I would want to use it for Edge devices 530/830/1030plus that are compatible with respiration rate metrics.

However Edge devices do not support ActivityMonitor toybox.

Will be possible to access RR when these devices are updated to API level 3.3? At this moment beta firmware provides API level 3.3 for physical devices, but the SDK still remains at 3.2

Only watches have access to ActivityMonitor, and SensorHistory (if your are thinking about stress and body battery)

Only interested in RR. It's a shame that this metric is not exposed at Activity.Info as heart rate or oxygen saturation are, so that it could be accessed not only in watches

but you can use my apps to see stress and RR

Your apps are reporting RR for watches. I want to avoid calculating RR by myself on edge devices to be used in my own datafields

In my opinion exposing it do nothing because Garmin doesn't count stress/breath/etc while active (in my f6p). So even if you can read these values, they will probably be old not live.

At least for edge, RR is available as a native data field that can be added to any activity profile. Even, value is saved to fit file every second. So, it would be possible, interesting and useful to expose the value

the same is in f6p you can show RR in some activity (e.g. yoga) and even save it in fit file.

but, when I'm in running activity and move it in background and show system widget stress/rr/spo2 is --- and this probably means:

- activity/DF counts RR separately form system widdget

- there will be no RR in history in activity period

I haven't tested it but it is by observation - you can see gap (bb/rr/stress/etc ) in express during time of activity - it rather confirm my observation.
